I've tried the Light Italian herb 90 cal flatout bread. It's ok but I'm wondering if there is something tastier out there? Thanks!!

    I've only tried the 90 calorie plain ones... just OK in my opinion.

    I like the multigrain with flax seed. I use them as pizza crust and cut one in half for a PB&J sandwich.

    I love the multi grain with flax seed ones, they are so filling and tasty. I toast mine before eating, if I make a sandwich type wrap. Or I heat in the oven with pizza or quesadilla toppings, just bake at 350 for about 5 minutes.

    They have a sun-dried tomato one as well that is decent.

    I like the multi-grain w/ flax best as I can use them for everything. The sundried tomato and Italian are ok but not great for a PB and banana roll-up. My fave thing to do with these is to add a few slices of deli meat, a slice of pepperjack and a big handful of baby romaine and/or spinach.

    Another good 100 calorie alternative for sandwiches that I like are either the Deli Thins or Bagel Thins. They're perfect with the pre-packaged thin sliced deli meats by Oscar Mayer or WalMart/Great Value. If you like a mix of sweet and savory, there's nothing like ham/turkey and cheese on a cinnamon raisin bagel. YUMMY!

    Bread

    Cut the crusts, grab a rolling pin, and you can make it flat. And for only 80 calories a slice.

    Thanks everyone! I love sourdough bread but the calories add up. At least the flatbread has more protein and less carbs in them. I make a sandwich/burrito looking thing. Hummus, turkey or ham, spinach or romaine, tomato and roll it up. Pretty tasty and filing and overall not a ton of calories.

    I use the rosemary and olive oil one for sammiches...Tastes great to me it's 100 calories. Otherwise I do what husky said and cut the crust off and roll it out...with pumpernickel..mmmm

    I like the Flatout Soft Wheat. They are 100 calories. I have some of the 90 calorie Italian one's in my fridge but have not tried them yet.

    I first tried Ole Extreme Wellness wraps and hated them, they were like a half cooked tortilla to me (very doughy).

    The low cal flat wraps are good, only 60 calories for a wrap plus has baked in chia seeds in them. they cost around 5.89 for a pack of 6. I prefer those over the flatout.

    I like Joseph's brand of flax, oat bran and whole wheat lavash. It's large enough so that you can cut one in half and you can use it for wraps, sandwiches, just about anything. It's 50 calories for half a slice and tastes great. I used these all the time when I was first diagnosed as diabetic and I had to find a substitute for regular bread. I don't need to do that anymore but I still eat it, as it tastes great.

    If you want something that looks more like regular bread, I like the Nature's Harvest Light brand (whole wheat or multigrain). 40 calories a slice and tastes great. You can find this at Harris Teeter supermarkets (or their equivalent in your area).

    Not impressed so much with the Flatouts - they tasted a little doughy to me.

    I like the Joseph's also, it is like real bread. And I agree about the Flatout....to me they are gummy and gritty at the same time, like eating chewing gum and sand.:tongue:

    Natures own 40 calorie bread is pretty good and I just started eating Toufayan smart pockets whole wheat which are 80 calories and very yummy.

    I'm real surprised that so many people don't like the Flatout products. I buy Flatout Flatbread and I get the 90 calorie ones. They have 9 g of protein and 9 grams of fiber. I use them all the time in roll up type of things and find them real tasty. I have that with 2 TBLS hummus, 2 slices of tomato, and a bunch of fresh spinach on top. That is real good. I also eat the Flatout Flatbread with shreaded chicken breast, mixed with 2 TBLS BBQ sauce---delicious.

    If I want a sandwich, I eat Sara Lee 45 Calories & Delightful 100% Whole Wheat bread. To me, this bread tastes better than a couple other brands that have 40 calorie bread. Also, you get more bread for your money with the Sara Lee one.

    I always just buy the light multigrain flavor. The macros are great. Mostly I use them for pizzas or occasionally quesadilla type things. I don't care for the other flavors much.

    I used to order Mama Lupe's low carb tortillas from netrition and I like how they taste better than the flat outs, but I can't buy them locally.

    I don't eat much bread but I do sometimes do Ezekiel wraps or bread, whole grain english muffins, or bagel things when they're on sale.
